  <div id="text-content_8FA557E2-3EF4-415C-93E9-25138E332F40" class="text-block-content">
    <p>Upload or download resources from your local computer to the Resources tool using the WebDAV protocol. This page describes how you can create a WebDAV connection between your computer and the Resources tool within your site and then how you can move content between locations.</p>
<p><strong>Additional resources:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>If you prefer to use Cyberduck to manage your WebDAV connections, see <a href="content.hlp?docId=howdoisetupandusewebdavwithcyberduck">How do I set up and use WebDAV with Cyberduck?</a>.</li>
<li>If you use a MacOS computer to manage your site, see <a href="content.hlp?docId=howdoisetupandusewebdavonmacos108andup">How do I set up and use WebDAV on MacOS (10.8 and up)?</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Limitations:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Due to how Windows 10 establishes WebDAV connections, a WebDAV connection will not persist after you restart your computer. Use the steps in this article to re-create the connection as needed. To establish a persistent WebDAV connection that you can reuse after restarting your computer, see <a href="content.hlp?docId=howdoisetupandusewebdavwithcyberduck">How do I set up and use WebDAV with Cyberduck?</a>.</li>
<li>There must be at least one item (a file or folder) in the site's Resources tool before you begin the WebDAV setup procedure.</li>
</ul>
